Agni’s three sons, according to the Vayu Purana, stand for three different aspects of Agni (fire): ''Pāvaka'' is the electric fire,''Pāvamanā'' is the fire produced by friction, and ''Śuchi'' is the solar fire. Every fire has a corresponding relation to one of the human psychic faculties. They also represent body, spirit and soul, and body.<sup>[31]</sup> ''Abhimāni'', his three sons, and their 45 sons constitute the 49 mystic fires of the Puranas, especially the Agni Purana. Agneya is the daughter of Agni and the Hindu Goddess of Fire. Medhā (intelligence) is Agni’s sister.
